WINTER IS HERE

My comment system is working now. I just had to upgrade the version, I've done that now so it should be working pretty good again. =)

Wow. A lot of thing's have changed since I last updated on here. Where do I start? Well, it's officially winter here, now. I have just gotten my own first case of the cold/flu and as of two days ago, started feeling a bit better and have begun getting over it now. Finally. I know we all dislike it, but I hate being sick! I cannot afford it, I have to work and do everything else that is required of me, to live, lol. I hope everyone else has been able to stay clear of the illnesses. I would say this weather is the perfect weather to watch more film's and do thing's like that. Sad fact, I haven't even been to the cinema since March, and that was to see The Wolfman in Sydney while I was away on holiday's. However, lately I have been feeling like going to the movies again soon and now Sex and the City 2: Carried Away is out, I cannot wait to see it! You bet I have been hanging out for it! I also want to see A Team, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Street Dance 3D and The Karate Kid when it comes out to Australia soon. I like Jackie Chan, especially in his comedic roles, so it should be fun! I went on a little road-trip today, it was fun, my friend & I went shopping. I got a new dvd, the blu-ray version of The Hangover: Extended Uncut. I love that film, it's hilarious, the tiger in the bathroom is so random & the quote's from the film would stay with us forever.. especially the man-purse being a satchel that even Indiana Jones has, lol. I've been really into music now too. Been listening to just about anything & everything. All the top 40 stuff that comes out, and spent a lot of time recently finding remixes to some of my favourite song's. A lot of them are dance-type tunes and lots of R&B, stuff that is fun to dance to.

Oh and in other news, I just installed all the updates for the new version of wordpress, upgraded and all ready to go now. I also renewed my domain here, I am interested in writing more entries here and blogging more often again.. I miss it, infact. And when I start getting to more of the personal stuff that's going on in my life at the moment, it makes me more inspired to blog. I may even start doing private entries and writing all about it that way. Haha, I had always thought about doing that but never got to actually setting it up, maybe this time I will. I hope I do because it would be nice to feel security when I am writing very personal journal entries here.. that I need to vent about and get off my chest. Well I am about to say it, I am single. Yep. That is my relationship status at the moment, not with my bf anymore, over the past two month's, a lot has changed.. officially. I guess we both kind of knew it was coming in the past few month's but never grasped it and did something about it, now it feel's too late and what's done is done and what's happened has happened. It was mutual, we both felt like our relationship had died down a lot, there was close to none communication anymore, we began doing a lot of thing's on our own and separately. It's sad, it is. If we both could have changed the way thing's had gone, we probably would want to go back and do that. Change the way thing's went, the direction it took, and try to mend all the broken link's. But it's the past, and you can't. Neither of us had cheated on each other (if you were thinking that), it's not that in which I'm meaning when I say we both wish we could have changed thing's about the past and the way stuff went. I actually mean the direction thing's went, the way we took thing's and solved them, or the lack of solving. The beginning of our relationship was so different to the most recent aspect's of it. Is that always the way for everyone, in their relationship's too? I thought it would be. It's strange, isn't it? Sometimes you just drift apart and lose yourselves, get caught up in your own hobbies, discontinue the effort to compromise on thing's that should probably be compromised on, and start doing with less thinking, because we get lazier and cannot be bothered anymore. Feels like the effort was gone, the spark was gone, the ability to enjoy each other's company faded away, it's very sad. We are still friend's, we still see each other every now and then, we do have the same mutual friend's, and we're keeping it that way. I'm glad we're both being very civil about it, it's helped both of us be able to move on. I guess, the only thing I can say now is that, you never know what the future hold's, and whilst not letting your past be your future, but allowing your destiny to be grown from your past, and not forgetting the memories that were made from it. That's what is important. It really is.

So. Yeah. Life is different now. I mean, doing something for 3.5yrs, then doing something that's so different, is a bit of an adjustment. I'm taking it all in my strides. I have started becoming readjusted to single life. It's not been easy either, really. At times I feel like holding back and not allowing anything to grow or move on, but I have to let it happen and see where it takes me. After all, I guess that's what life is all about. I don't want sympathy, just good listener's and real friend's. Onto one of my favourite topics; shopping!!, I have been doing a fair bit of that lately with my friend's, haha. At the moment I have about two lot's of clothes worth about $300 each, all up, on lay-away. As right now I am trying to find a car to buy so I have to be a little smarter with my money & finance's. Car looking, is it meant to be fun? Is it? Because for me, it isn't, no no no, not one bit. Everything I see that light's up my face, someone is there criticising it already & pointing out all the bad thing's about it, so I figure maybe looking at them on my own with a mechanic is the best thing I should do. And I've spent a lot of time looking too, it has not been a fast process, not at all. I guess as it is serious to me, I have been a little more picky & thoughtful about it this time. I don't want to settle for second best, if I see it and I like it, I would want to get it. But I tell ya, every tom, dick & harry has had to find it in their right to put their two cent's in on what I should or shouldn't get, it's become really annoying. I guess they're only helping, but if it's by me, for me, from me, then shouldn't 'I' like it? I'll have to continue looking and keep you guy's updated on how it all goes.

This is a pretty long blog & even a bit personal, which I don't normally do, but I felt like venting this time. I need to get more into the swing of thing's, and update often again. I miss it, as I said before. I best be off now, got a few thing's to do around the house. I have not even watched tv for the past month, or gone on Twitter much. Facebook is the only thing that I have been occupying my home-time with, the rest of the time I have not even been home. Thank god for good friend's, and company. I've been going out every few weekend's, going on road-trip's, shopping and keeping busy with work. I hope everyone has a good week ahead and enjoys the weekend too! I will blog again soon, with photo's of all the new clothes I bought. Because within a week I should have them all out. Love Jaz xxx

Love Jaz xXx.

BETTER WEEKEND

Woo hoo! Last weekend was much, much better than the two previous. Everyone had a good time & it was all happy. It's good to get back to that. No drama's, no issues or problem's. The music was good, everybody danced, had fun, caught up with each other & one of my close friend's were out too. I guess it was also a bonus that some old high school friend's of mine were out as well. It was really cool. Oh, I didn't mention this before but I got a new desktop. This time I went to a iMac! Yep, I officially converted & I'm definitely not looking back either. I don't know why I wasn't already using this, lol. I've already became addicted to apps & other stuff, it's fun. I had always used iTunes before but never set up an account until now and just the other day I rented a movie on it, I got My Sister's Keeper. WOW, what a film. It was so original, moving and sad. Overall, the acting & directing were brilliant. It took me like, forever, to eventually get to watch it. I'm really glad I saw it now. I recommend it to anyone. I also recently saw Up in the Air, the new film from George Clooney.. it was very good but the ending is a little anti-climatic. You could say the same for The Lovely Bones, it was brilliant, had a terrific story with beautiful imagery/scenery in certain scenes & aspects of the film... but again, the ending was a bit unofficial.

The next films I plan to see are The Blind Side, A Single Man, Edge of Darkness and Valentine's Day. Haha, that's a lot of films right? I just see one after the other, it's almost the only thing I ever want to do, it's becoming almost like a study to me. To see what ways the director's directed, or the writer wrote. It's beautiful and I am enjoying learning what I see. I have always been a very visual person, so it fits. Oh another film to review that I saw, is Nine. Now, the musical parts and dancing sequences were brilliant, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I think Daniel Day Lewis's acting was superb, as usual. He is such a good actor, he really is, he throws himself into his roles and almost becomes them. I'd hire him for any film I did, and Morgan Freeman is another actor that I would hire. Speaking of which, I'd like to see Invictus too. Morgan looks amazing in it. He is engaging to watch, even when he speaks and says anything, people listen. I love it. So Nine was good, except for the storyline.. it revolved around the same concept the entire time, it didn't move along or go anywhere with it, it was sort of boring that way but the entertaining parts were the singing and dancing. So not a recommendation but if you're bored at home one day, it's that sort of film to watch. Onto my work; it's been okay. Not bad nor great. Which is good I guess. I wouldn't want an extreme situation from it, although I did have a bit of a bad day today, it was still okay. I am still on the hunt for something full-time and better.

Let's move onto what else I've been doing, shopping on Ebay! Haha. I have almost become addicted to it, really. It's getting kind of bad. Just this week I bought a hood for my SLR camera from Hong Kong, about 4 different cocktail dresses to wear on night's out at the club, I have just been browsing some high heel peep toe pump's on there, in the colours of yellow and pink! Hehe! I really just want a gold, pink or yellow pair of peep toe pump heels with a bow or something, just to stand out from the rest of the outfit. I think mixing colours is always fun as long as they go together. I really ought to make a webcam log of all my purchases, haha, because if it's not Ebay, it's local shops I have purchased stuff from. I need a new cupboard as it is, let alone making a larger collection of clothes/shoes to fit into it, hahaha. Got to love girls like me, I'm proud of it, lol. I've been thinking about getting a new mobile/cell phone to use and been contemplating an iPhone. I really have become obsessed/addicted to Apple products now, haha. And I'm sure you all heard about the new iPad that Apple have made, it really does look just like a big version of the iPhone, it's touch screen (obviously) and it does just about anything, but I have heard (it may be a joke) that you can only have one program open on it at a time, but that's probably just a joke, right? I don't know. Anyhow, it looks and seems pretty cool.. I wonder what Apple will think of next?!? Hmm. I'm all for Apple now, I am converted, for real.

This Saturday night will be a mutually known person's 21st birthday, all of us are going out to the club for it, well most of my friend's are, I'm going out for another reason, to have fun! I'm excited to have a really great night! We all need one. However, that girl turning 21 is a girl I've always been nice to & she is workmates with my bf's brother. Well all along for the past year and a half that I've known her, I thought she was a very fun & nice girl well until I found out recently that she had been talking bad about me behind my back to my other friend's. Yep! She had. And I'm not bothered by what she said but more the fact that she did it in the first place. That she had the audacity to throw opinion's & judge me after I've been so welcoming/nice to her, especially when she's meant to be a friend. And she's in no position to judge other people. I just hate being nice to people & because of some immature influence, they throw it all back in your face by doing you wrong like that. So I don't necessarily feel like celebrating this girl's birthday but I'm still going out to have my own good night. I will ignore this girl completely & hope her birthday is, well, ordinary, lol. Haha. I guess it might be about time I made a new layout for this site. It has been a while. I might, I might not, but if I do it won't be till another month or so.. when I have more time to think about a new theme/idea for it. It's still summer time here in Australia, atleast for one more month so I will keep it up for now. I have noticed that a lot of bloggers that I visited have now stopped blogging but still have their websites up. I hope ya'll get time to blog again, I know it's hard trying to find things to say sometimes but sometimes the simple things to be said are the funnest to read. I'm pretty drained and tired from work this week so I'm going to end it here and update some dead links on my 'World Wide Web' section of other people's blogs, oh and I'm always keen to meet new people and read their blogs so if you know anyone with a good blog to read, recommend it to me and I'll visit. Have a good weekend, take care, love Jaz xXx. Love Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.

WOW. EPIC

The last two weekend's have meant to be good but the majority of them have turned out pretty bad. Let's say the word 'epic' is a good word to describe them both. Particularly at the beginning of both of the night's out that we endured, I say endured because there wasn't too much FUN in them, the first weekend I'm talking about, we were literally waiting for the clock to tick for it to close (the club) so we could leave. That's a pretty clear sign that we shouldn't be out. So, the second weekend (the one just passed) we decided to have a bbq at a friend's place and party there. You know, instead of going out to the actual club. Well. Good idea. But due to a bunch of misconceptions and paranoia, a friend of mine got upset at me & another friend of our's and left. They didn't come back. As soon as I knew what was going on, I felt like I was right back in high school. You know, that old immature drama that was bullshit since the moment it started? Yeah, that. So, what was meant to be a good night turned into a very bad one for a long time. Despite that, toward the end of the night, it got a lot better and the remaining people (my other friends and I) all had a lot of fun. But the beginning was still all in our mind's. It's sad and a real shame, because it would have been a terrific night. Meh. Can't mould the mind's of affected people, their misconception's are way too powerful at the time. Ahh! So after those two bad weekend's, you'd think it'd be a sign to not go out for a while but there isn't really much else to do around here on the weekend's. Not even in summer.

Work; well I could say that was epic too. We were majorly under-staffed, overly busy and I just constantly remembered all the other things I had to do (outside of work) that I couldn't do, because I was AT work. Ah! Don't you hate those week's? I certainly hope next week, the one that starts now, is a lot better! In terms of film's, I saw The Tooth Fairy last Monday, it was really sweet, cute and funny... but it's definitely a film for children and younger teen's. It was still a fun film and I love Dwayne Johnson, so that helped watching it, haha. I also saw 'It's Complicated', that was such a funny movie. Meryl is absolutely brilliant in it, as she is usually in all her film's. Alec was good too but it was a reminder that he is definitely better seen IN clothes, rather than not. HAHAHA. I also saw Did You Hear About the Morgan's?, I'm not sure if I already mentioned that but it was very funny and Im glad I saw it. Sarah is very good in it, so is Hugh. What is funny is that I normally don't like Hugh Grant, or anything that he is in.. however this film was pretty good. It also starred Mary Steenburgen, you know, the woman who plays Nancy Huff in Step Brothers, Brennan's mother. OMG. She is hilarious! Her comedic ability is amazing. I'll always remember her saying 'what the f'n f' in Step Brothers when Brennan and Dale have that major fight in the front yard, and even the hose doesn't get them apart, haha. I love that film! I can definitely watch any comedy film with Will Ferrell, John C Reilly or Mary Steenburgen in it. Yay!

Well, that's about all the news I have at the moment. It's pretty late here and I cannot wait to get to bed after the busy day at work I had today. I worked Sunday night, yup, lame huh? I had to. Not a choice. Ah well. I have next weekend off, completely, so I have nothing to complain about now. I hope everyone had a good week and a better weekend than me. You might beable to tell that even in my writing, I sound bitter or different tonight. That's the affect the weekend has had on me. I think it's time for a break of going or or doing anything big. But it's hard to attempt to have fun on a weekend, by doing nothing but relaxing.. it becomes boring. Anyway, hope everyone has a brilliant week ahead. No drama's hopefully. And before I go, I'd love to thank Gwen on the beautiful NYE card that was sent to me, so thank you very much Gwen! I hope you have a terrific 2010 too & we definitely have to keep more in touch this year. Love Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & BOXING DAY

Merry Christmas to all the visitor's out there & my fellow loved bloggers. I hope you were happy, safe, relaxed, ate enough to be full & enjoyed the company of your family. It's nice when we can all come together and have fun. We kept it pretty simple this time, my brother, his GF and my brother's friend came around for lunch.. there was so much food that we asked them back over today for dinner. Helping to eat the leftover's, what our great Boxing Day is good for, huh?! Hehehe. We've kept it simple for years now on Christmas Day, the best way to have it, I think. I hope all of you had a great day too. And to people in England, Canada & Australia, Happy Boxing Day! I went out clubbing on Christmas Eve with my bf and all our friends, we had a great night but I wanted to leave early before close, before all the idiot's come out, so that was a good thing because we got home early and ready to wake up at a decent time to eat & open gift's. As promised two entries ago, I'll be adding some photo's up here from the Sydney Telstra 500 V8's Race event that I went to. Here's the first one..

A V8 racing car, all decked out in it's sponsor's stickers & kit.

Onto the gift's that I got; from my mother I received a black Mickey Mouse tee t shirt, New York Impulse deodorant, and a cute photo album (I said I could put all my pub/clubbing/partying photo's in it, or this year's holidays/concerts), from my BF I got John Mayer's - Battle Studies cd album, and the blu-ray dvd pack of Ice Age: 1, 2 & 3 all in the one pack! Pretty cool since I have only seen number one so far. From his brother I got Michael Jackson's This Is It album, the music that inspired the movie. I love that 'Human Nature', 'Earth Song', and 'Jam' are all on that LP. It's BRILLIANT! So Im very glad I got that, means a lot to own it, it really does. Like a collector's item. I can't wait for the blu-ray dvd of the film to actually come out shortly, been hanging for it. From my BF's mother I got money & scratchies in which I won a cute $2 on, hehehe.

Bumblee, in REAL life! This car is obviously the exact same model as the sports version Camaro used in the Transformer films, this car is worth around $150,000.. yup, that's enough to buy a decent HOUSE. That car was definitely beautiful. My friend and I had our photo professionally taken with it.

My BF wanted to get me The Sims 3 pc game, but he wanted to wait until it's on special price, which now that it's Boxing Day, it is. So tomorrow he's shopping to get that, awww. He knew I've wanted it for a while now, so it's awesome that he's willing to still get it for me. Ugh; WORK was the busiest ever last week... obviously due to Christmas.. everyone has to eat.. and well especially so on Christmas. So we were VERY busy! I did two 9HR shifts which both went so fast because of how constant and busy it was.. infact I found that I prefer it that way so the time goes much faster, lol. I honestly don't notice the time when it's busy, it flies by like a flick of a switch, I love it.

Connie Mitchell and Daimon from Sneaky Sound System, standing on stage performing. They were AMAZING, completely off the HOOK. I'm so glad I saw them LIVE.

DJ BZERK, an absolutely HOT looking DJ whom I was standing right infront of, lol. I had the best view the entire night. He was into it too, even dancing around himself.

In other news; it's very sad that the Murphy family had to bury their daughter on Christmas Eve. I couldn't even fathom that. It's still so shocking and just awful, you really have to cherish each day like it's your last. Christmas Day also marks the day a person I knew passed away, Katelyn Salmont, it's weird to think it's already been a whole year. Katelyn died of pneumonia & cystic fibrosis, she was the sister to the actress that I run a fansite on. It's very sad when people die way too young. It's getting late here, so I best be off and get ready for bed. I'm exhausted & have to eat more food tomorrow that is still leftover, hehehe. Have a good weekend everybody. Jaz xXx.

Love Jaz xXx.
